Frohe Ostern!
Hallo, du Amis!

Hey! Greetings from the little american girl in Germany! Happy Easter!

Den Osterhasen ist gekommen und alle kinder sing jetzt froh. Ich hab kein Haribo gekriegt, aber dass reicht schon.

I'm in the Schwäbisch alps here for easter and I wish you all a nice one!

1. Happy Easter, from Ticino,
not far from where you are right now. Buona Pasqua! :hi:

I googled Ticino and it's all about Ferienwohnung da. Sweet.

5. We're surrounded by holiday homes, it's true.
But we live here year-round and love it: five minutes from the Italian border, an hour from Milan, about 2.5 hours from Zurich. :hi:

6. OMG
Edited on Sun Apr-16-06 10:03 AM by Scruffbunny
That's really cool looking. The most holiday homes are im nächsten Dorf.

Sorry. Right now, I'm living with someone who speaks very little English and I have a lot of German in my head. It gets really bad when I dream in fluent German!

EDIT: Also, I'm typing on a german keyboard whereas I'm used to american. This is getting annoying.

7. Call Me Wesley's first language is German,
and when I was learning, I'd have dreams where I spoke fluent German (though I didn't and don't). I've gotten used to my German keyboard, though. :hi:

8. Neat. I was in a german school for seven
years and it's all coming back to me. But it's difficult here because they all speak Schwäbisch. Have you heard schwäbisch? I swear, it's its own language.

12. It's pretty hard.
I can get some, but this just because it's somewhat close to the Swiss German dialects (which are of course dialects of its own.)

13. Again with the yar.
I know a girl from switzerland and she speaks 'Switch-Dootsch' or however she spells it. She gets very annoyed at my history teacher when he calls it Swiss German. Appearently that's offensive. Who knew. But it definatley sounds more interesting than Hoch-Deutsch, that's ferdarnsure. (And I just added wisconsinese in there. My vocabulary is really weird...)

14. Strange. I always call it
Swiss German. I don't see what's offensive about it. But I'm originally from Zurich. We're pretty tolerant. ;)

15. Maybe that girl's just a spaz.
I always thought so. Nice, though. Bloody insane, perhaps, but eh.

My 'Hometown' here is actually Stuttgart and thier dialect is more like ghetto slang english in its own way. Very easy to understand. It's mostly just swearing.

16. Frohe Ostern!
My family came from Germany, a town called Kiesselbach, I believe, in Bad Salzungen. Emigrated in 1883 to New York and New Jersey, then St. Louis, and finally Chicago.

Always wanted to speak German, never got around to learning it.

:hi:

17. Hallo!
Deutsch ist kommisch und schwer. Aber Wenn do willst, kannst du das lernen.

(German is weird and hard. But if you want to, you can learn it.)

18. hey, I heard my kid was in the lounge!
thanks for all the warm greetings. I spoke to my Scruffbunny a little while ago and she's sounding just a tad homesick. She comes home to Milwaukee in mid-July---that's a long time yet.:( I miss my baby girl, but she's getting an awesome freshman year of high school. I'm a little jealous...
